Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a double-layered container and a method for producing the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a double-layered container including a relatively rigid outer layer container part and a flexible inner layer container part, whose capacity can be changed inside the rigid outer layer container part according to the amount of the content therein, and also to a method for producing such a double-layered container with ease by using molding equipment and molding materials that are not much different from conventionally used equipment and materials.
  • Containers desirably can prevent the contents thereof from being exposed to the atmosphere and oxidized when the contents are partly consumed and their volumes are reduced.
  • the container is unsealed and opened by evacuating the internal space or filling the internal space with inert gas such as nitrogen gas after filling the container with the content.
  • inert gas such as nitrogen gas
  • the container when the container is unsealed and opened and the content is partly consumed so that the unconsumed content is left in the container, external air gets into the container by the amount that corresponds to the consumed amount of the content to oxidize the content left in the container.
  • the content may be made to contain an antioxidant in order to prevent the content from being oxidized.
  • the container can be formed by using a rigid outer container part (rigid outer layer container part) and a flexible inner container part (flexible inner layer container part).
  • a rigid outer container part rigid outer layer container part
  • a flexible inner container part flexible inner layer container part
  • a problem to be solved for double-layered containers arranged so as to let the flexible inner container part to reduce its capacity by the amount that corresponds to the consumed amount of the content without allowing the rigid outer layer container part to be deformed is that the flexible inner container part, which has been held in contact with the inner surface of the rigid outer container part since the time when the double-layered container was produced, needs to be separated from the inner surface of the rigid outer container part to allow external air to get into the space produced between the flexible inner container part and the rigid outer container part by the amount that corresponds to the consumed amount of the content. If an opening for allowing external air to enter the space between the flexible inner container and the rigid outer container can reliably be formed at a double-layered container by using a simple device or without using any device with a simple and easy operation, such a container will be very useful.
  • hollow laminated containers having at least a double-layered structure including an outer layer and an inner layer that are made of respective thermoplastic resin materials, wherein the outer layer and the inner layer that are held in contact with each other at the body wall part of the container are formed as easily separable laminated walls and an atmosphere introducing hole for allowing atmosphere to be introduced between the laminated walls is arranged below the threaded section formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth and neck section of the laminated container so as to be engaged with a lid or the like.
  • the outer layer and the inner layer of the atmosphere introducing hole forming section are made to outwardly project and only the outer layer of the front end part of this section is made to be easily cut off to produce an opening that operates as atmosphere introducing hole without damaging the inner layer at the atmosphere introducing hole of the mouth and neck section of the laminated container, of which the inner layer is separable from the outer layer as mentioned above (see, for example, Patent Literature 1).
  • bottles formed by blow molding including a synthetic resin-made outer layer, which operates as outer shell having a fixed profile, and a flexible synthetic resin-made inner layer, which is separably laid on the inside of the outer layer so as to operate as an inner bag, wherein a protrusion is formed so as to project from the lower end of the cylindrical mouth section directly standing up from the upper end of the body section of the bottle and an exposed part of the inner layer is arranged and located at the front end of the protrusion (see, for example, Patent Literature 2).
  • blow-molded synthetic resin-made containers including an outer layer, which operates as outer shell, and an inner layer, which is separably laid on the outer layer so as to operate as inner bag, wherein a flat knob that can be torn off at the base end section thereof is formed at a part of the outer layer laid on the inner layer and located near the front end of an outwardly bulged part of the inner layer formed at the peripheral wall of the cylindrical mouth section so as to stand up from the base end section, the base end section having a notch-shaped profile, the outwardly bulged part of the inner layer being produced as part of the peripheral wall of the cylindrical mouth section thereof with the outer layer so as to become bulged at the time of blow molding, the knob being formed as the part of the outer layer laid on the inner layer at a position located near the front end of the inner layer by pressing it between the joining faces of the mold parts of the split mold used for the blow molding
  • the post processing for realizing that “only the outer layer of the front end part of this outwardly projecting portion is made to be easily cutoff to produce an opening for the atmosphere introducing hole with ease without damaging the inner layer at the atmosphere introducing hole of the mouth and neck section of the laminated container” requires a processing operation using a high precision milling machine and hence is not suited for producing containers on a mass production basis. Additionally, if the outer layer is left unremoved after the processing operation, introduction of external air is obstructed whereas, if the inner layer is damaged or broken, the container will no longer be operational.
  • a protrusion is formed so as to project from the lower end of the cylindrical mouth section directly standing up from the upper end of the body section of the bottle” as proposed in Patent Literature 2 is produced by forming an recess in the mold and pushing part of the laminated parison having an inner layer and an outer layer into the recess under blow pressure.
  • the thickness of the protrusion varies as a function of the blow pressure, the parison temperature and so on and, additionally, the position of the outer surface of the inner layer is not constantly fixed. Therefore, the post processing for realizing that “an exposure part of the inner layer formed and located at the front end of the protrusion” is highly difficult from the industrial viewpoint.
  • a flat knob that can be torn off at the base end section thereof is formed at a part of the outer layer laid on the inner layer located near the front end of an outwardly bulged part of the inner layer formed at the peripheral wall of the cylindrical mouth section so as to stand up from the base end section” as proposed in Patent Literature 4 is realized as “the knob is formed as the part of the outer layer laid on the inner layer at a position located near the front end of the inner layer by pressing it between the joining faces of the mold parts of the split mold used for the blow molding”.
  • the bulged part 11 of the inner layer 3 can be formed by molding part of the peripheral wall of the cylindrical mouth section 4 with the outer layer 2 so as to be bulged at the time of blow molding the container 1.
  • the knob 14 can be formed by pressing part of the outer layer 2 laid on the inner layer 3 near the front end part 12 between the joining faces of the mold parts of the split mold to be used for the blow molding” (paragraph 0019).
  • part of the outer layer 2 is made to be bulged in the recess for forming the knob 14 that is arranged at the joining faces of the mold parts of the split mold as the parson is pushed into the recess under the high pressure in the parison that is being subjected to a blow molding operation.
  • the extent to which the inner layer 2 is pushed into the inlet and its vicinity of the recess varies significantly as a function of the parison temperature, the blow pressure and so on at that time.
  • the present invention of a double-layered container including a relatively rigid outer container and a flexible inner container arranged in the inside of the rigid outer container, the capacity of which flexible inner container can change according to the amount of the content therein, is made particularly in view of the above-identified problems relating to the opening for introducing external air.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a double-layered container including a relatively rigid outer layer container and a flexible inner layer container arranged in the inside of the rigid outer container, the capacity of which flexible inner container can change according to the amount of the content therein, and also a method for producing such a double-layered container by using molding equipment and molding materials that are not much different from conventionally used equipment and materials, wherein an opening for introducing external air can be formed very easily and highly reliably at cost lower than the processing cost of any of the prior arts.
  • step C of screwing the cap on and applying tension to the small diameter part cleared of the gap burr in the direction for separating the threaded part of the mouth section engaged with the threaded cap and the large diameter part to produce a gap at the area of the small diameter part cleared of the gap burr;
  • step D of forming a shield member for airtightly shielding the gap from the atmosphere on the double-layered container, the shield member having a one way valve for allowing external air to enter the gap.
  • a double-layered container produced from a parison having at least two layers of an inner layer and an outer layer for respectively forming a rigid outer layer container part and a flexible inner layer container part that are separable from each other of the double-layered container by means of a molding process of molding the double-layered container by using a split mold formed by combining at least a pair of partial molds, wherein the flexible inner layer container part can reduce it capacity while the rigid outer layer container part maintains its original profile as air is introduced between the rigid outer layer container part and the flexible inner layer container part, the double-layered container being provided with a threaded cap, characterized in that a large diameter part having a predetermined diameter and a small diameter part having a diameter smaller than that of the large diameter part are formed at the threaded part of the mouth section of the double-layered container to be engaged with the threaded cap, at the container main body part or between them;
